    Starting to have my doubts now that there will be a price cut for black Friday and I think a bundle offer is completely out the window. 400 euro would be my trigger to buy fingers crossed

    Also got Dreadhalls for free as I have it on Rift... I think this is going to be the scariest way to play it as the wire was always something that took me out of the experience.

    I dont normally scare easily but I can't play dreadhalls. It's pretty basic graphics wise (reminds me of the tv show knightmare tbh) but it's just so bloody scary. I can't take peeking around the dark corners to see if there's anything there and if there is then then headset comes off straight away and I dont go back for a few days. Good luck!

    It's the breathing that gets me. Whenever he starts shivering, I go "what? WHAT?!?!?"... then I turn around...

    Ah I see. They have a deal with a free star wars game which looks like it is all we get :) but that has to be ordered after 9am Pacific Time tomorrow, per their blog, so that is probably how long I'll wait. Oculus store working out cheaper than Amazon.

    Anyone any feedback with regards delivery from Octolus website.....Looks like its shipped next day but just wondering how long before it would arrive.....where is it coming from ? will there be any extra duties to pay on arrival?

    Also is 64gb enough don't want to upgrade further if not necessary.....it will mostly be used for gaming i suspect but im unsure as to what space is required for each game

    Is everything you need in the box or do we need to buy further accessories?

    Looking to buy this as an xmas present so appreciate any responses

    Everything you need is in the box. No extra shipping duties as it's sold within EU.

    Personally I'd go for the larger size to avoid having to delete contents, but many seem ok with 64GB.
    About 12GB is reserved for the OS, so in reality it's a 52GB headset.


    Here's an idea of file sizes: https://uploadvr.com/oculus-quest-game-install-sizes/

    but bear in mind you can also upload custom songs in Beat Saber, or upload 3D films.

    So the Vader deal is officially up and I pulled the trigger. Apparently there is some go games ported to the quest and if you bought them on the go you get them on the quest too so that is a plus. Might have to offload the poor Go now though and find some space in my council house to actually use the Quest haha.

    I drove from Killarney to Newry last Friday to buy myself a quest. I had being humming and hawning about it for a few weeks and was going to pick it up in the States next January.

    I had the Gear VR and the rift. Im loving the quest. I have being really impressed with the 180 videos on YouTube.

    I did. I waited until after midnight to set it up. At first it was showing the price for the games. When I came out of the store and back it they were there for free. Im not a lover of star wars but I tried the 1st episode for 10mins and it was pretty good. I might give the movies a go again.

    I owe fastway my deepest apologies as my headset was awaiting me when I got home today :D and oh wow. I've only dipped my toes in as I need to move the kitchen table later to try the hole move around thing but it has blown me away already. I thought go was a huge leap from cardboard (my two previous experiences) but this might even be a bigger leap again. Just in the tutorial picking up things had me giddy. Already set up sidequest and tried out crisis (think Time Crisis) which is good fun but again I'll have to wait till later to really try it. Picked up job simulator, thrill of the fight, superhot and richies plank (that seemed a bit expensive but I have a fear of heights and games like that seem to help with it)

    I must check out recroom. I just went to their website and followed the guide there. It's pretty easy actually. You'll need the right shape of cable to hook up to your pc. My phone one worked fine.
    Now to look up replacement inserts cause that thrill of the fight is some workout!

    I had a notification ction in the oculus app on my phone to say I had €4 credit for the store. Might be worth checking out. I didn't see the notifiction on the quest itself.

    Was really hoping for some discount on this today 😔
    Not sure if the Vader package is enough for me to pull the trigger on this, but close, so very close

    I had being hoping for a discount as well and was going to hold off until Black Friday. I took a look at the best buy brochure the week before and there was no mention of a discount, it was the same with all the forums I read. Apparently they are selling it very close to cost price at a slight loss and are hoping to make a profit from the store.

    I still think it was money well spent. I have being really impressed with it coming from the Gear VR and Rift.
